Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0707250A1] In a controlled apparatus including at leat one detector and at least one actuator, when an actuator not operating normally is detected, detectors which may be in trouble are inspected through a failure detecting means of a controller. This controller includes input signal storing means for storing the state of an input signal from the detector, auxiliary input signal storing means for storing the state of an input signal given from auxiliary signal generation means, logical operation means for generating an output signal to be applied to the abnormal actuator in accordance with a predetermined logic, and output signal storing means for storing the state of the output signal generated by the logical operation means. An identification code of an abnormal output signal corresponding to the actuator not operating normally is designated. The input signal which generates the abnormal output signal is designated, and affects the logical operation of the logical operation means, is extracted. When the extracted input signal is the one stored in the input signal storing means, the identification code of this input signal is stored in the storing device. <IMAGE>
